Drammi gotici is a masterclass in the unsettling. While Morricone is often associated with the wide-open vistas of the desert, this album finds him deep in the claustrophobic corridors of a haunted mansion. It is a work of high-contrast shadows, where the ethereal beauty of Edda Dell'Orso's wordless vocals is constantly threatened by jagged, dissonant piano stabs and the mournful groan of a pipe organ. The music feels ancient and modern simultaneously, utilizing 1970s avant-garde techniques to evoke a timeless sense of dread.
